Klay Thompson said he'll work on his pump fake, getting to the line more, and his ball-handling this offseason.

He did increase his free throw attempts per game to 3.3 last season, but there was a downward trend as the year went on. Thompson's efficiency off the dribble was worse compared to his catch-and-shoot production. On his pull-ups, he only had a 49.2 effective field goal percentage (eFG%), which is not close to his 62.9 eFG% on catch and shoot. Still, it's hard to bet against him after a breakout 2014-15.

Klay Thompson scored only five points on 2-of-7 shooting in another foul-plagued performance on Tuesday, but he still walked off the court an NBA champion.

Thompson dropped 34 points in Game 2 of the Finals, but in the other five games he averaged a combined 12.2 points on 36.7 percent shooting, including an 8-of-28 mark from downtown. It's a somewhat minor complaint after a phenomenal season from Klay, who ascended to first-round value in 8-cat and 9-cat fantasy leagues. Jun 17 - 12:37 AM

Klay Thompson hit 5-of-14 shots (including a three) for 12 points, three rebounds and two assists in Sunday's Game 5 win.

Thompson is always a threat to go nuclear at any time, but with the pace slowed down his transition opportunities are limited and the Cleveland personnel matches up with him pretty well. It doesn't help that he gets switched onto LeBron defensively and has to get beat up on that side of the ball. Jun 14 - 11:46 PM

Jerry West reportedly threatened to leave the Warriors organization if Klay Thompson was traded away for Kevin Love this past offseason.

A lot of the Warriors recent success can be indirectly attributed to West's decision making. He was the one who advocated for the hiring of Steve Kerr after things went south with Mark Jackson, and he was a stern supporter of Thompson. Although Love is certainly a talented offensive player, his defense is questionable, while Klay has emerged as a solid two-way player. The trade that was never made is certainly something that will continue to be talked about if the Warriors wind up hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy when all is said and done. Jun 12 - 12:56 PM

Kevon Looney said he's working with coach Ron Adams to improve his footwork on his shot.

Looney was taking 3-pointers towards the end of summer league and said he's just working on taking what the defense gives him. The UCLA rookie slipped a bit in the draft due to a hip injury, but he looks like a very good value at No. 30. In six Vegas games, Looney averaged 9.3 points, 7.3 boards, 1.0 blocks and 0.5 treys. He's behind James Michael McAdoo and won't get minutes to start the season.
